Third hour, The Clay and Buck Show 3 00:00:06,920 --> 00:00:10,080 Speaker 1: is happening right now, everybody, on this Friday, November eleventh. 4 00:00:10,240 --> 00:00:14,920 Speaker 1: As we started out today mentioning it is Veterans Day, 5 00:00:15,080 --> 00:00:17,800 Speaker 1: want to thank all the veterans in this audience all 6 00:00:17,840 --> 00:00:21,040 Speaker 1: across the country, so many of you. It is always 7 00:00:21,040 --> 00:00:24,680 Speaker 1: a great honor that we have such a strong veteran 8 00:00:24,760 --> 00:00:28,960 Speaker 1: contingent that listens to this show. And I honestly feel 9 00:00:29,120 --> 00:00:31,680 Speaker 1: great whenever I get somebody coming up to me anywhere 10 00:00:31,720 --> 00:00:35,920 Speaker 1: in the country and they are a member of a 11 00:00:36,040 --> 00:00:38,720 Speaker 1: veteran or active duty member of the United States military 12 00:00:38,760 --> 00:00:41,080 Speaker 1: and they say, hey, I like the show, It's like, well, 13 00:00:41,120 --> 00:00:44,839 Speaker 1: that's absolutely fantastic if we're serving that veteran community with 14 00:00:44,880 --> 00:00:48,559 Speaker 1: good information and analysis. So Veterans Day for all of you. 15 00:00:48,840 --> 00:00:50,640 Speaker 1: I have a happy Veterans Day for all of you. 16 00:00:50,720 --> 00:00:56,040 Speaker 1: Thank you so much for what you've done for this country. Now, 17 00:00:56,080 --> 00:00:58,200 Speaker 1: one thing that I had been saying, you know, we 18 00:00:58,280 --> 00:01:02,160 Speaker 1: have to go back and look at some of the analysis, 19 00:01:02,160 --> 00:01:04,520 Speaker 1: some of what we've been saying in recent weeks in 20 00:01:04,560 --> 00:01:08,400 Speaker 1: the lead up to this midterm is that I was 21 00:01:08,880 --> 00:01:13,080 Speaker 1: clear eyed and correct about this phenomenon. It is that 22 00:01:13,080 --> 00:01:16,119 Speaker 1: the Democrats are going to keep doing exactly what they do. 23 00:01:16,720 --> 00:01:19,360 Speaker 1: There is no part of them that sees what has 24 00:01:19,400 --> 00:01:22,840 Speaker 1: happened in this midterm election as some kind of repudiation 25 00:01:22,959 --> 00:01:27,160 Speaker 1: of their beliefs, their decisions, none of it. In fact, 26 00:01:27,520 --> 00:01:31,240 Speaker 1: it's likely that you will see in this period an 27 00:01:31,319 --> 00:01:34,679 Speaker 1: effort Well, look, it depends on it depends on what 28 00:01:34,760 --> 00:01:36,800 Speaker 1: happens in the House, and depends on what happens in 29 00:01:36,840 --> 00:01:42,280 Speaker 1: the Senate. But some of the louder wings of or 30 00:01:42,319 --> 00:01:44,520 Speaker 1: some of the louder components of the left wing of 31 00:01:44,560 --> 00:01:47,720 Speaker 1: the Democrat Party are probably going to come out right 32 00:01:47,760 --> 00:01:50,320 Speaker 1: now and start demanding things because they had to be 33 00:01:50,360 --> 00:01:53,520 Speaker 1: a little bit quiet toward the very end. You know, 34 00:01:53,600 --> 00:01:56,720 Speaker 1: you did have Kathy Hokel, for example, start to say, yeah, 35 00:01:56,760 --> 00:01:58,760 Speaker 1: maybe we need more cops on the subway in New York. 36 00:01:59,520 --> 00:02:02,680 Speaker 1: You did to have some Democrats point out, yeah, the 37 00:02:02,720 --> 00:02:06,160 Speaker 1: crime rise is real, inflation is not so good. But 38 00:02:06,280 --> 00:02:11,080 Speaker 1: that was just to create the perception, I would argue, 39 00:02:11,120 --> 00:02:14,200 Speaker 1: to create the illusion that they really do care and 40 00:02:14,240 --> 00:02:16,679 Speaker 1: are in touch with the voters on these things, when 41 00:02:16,680 --> 00:02:20,799 Speaker 1: in reality, the high prices that you're paying. Well, if 42 00:02:20,800 --> 00:02:25,480 Speaker 1: it's caused by government spending, that's going toward climate change work. 43 00:02:25,560 --> 00:02:29,120 Speaker 1: For example, Fine, you gotta pay more. Your energy costs 44 00:02:29,120 --> 00:02:33,040 Speaker 1: are high. Good, it's saving the planet. Crime is high. Good. 45 00:02:33,080 --> 00:02:37,520 Speaker 1: We're pushing for more equity in the criminal justice system. 46 00:02:37,639 --> 00:02:40,880 Speaker 1: So that's just part of the process. It's the way 47 00:02:40,919 --> 00:02:44,840 Speaker 1: it shows that it's working. It's really really obtuse. I mean, 48 00:02:44,880 --> 00:02:47,480 Speaker 1: it's twisted, it's crazy, but this is how they view things. 49 00:02:48,480 --> 00:02:51,080 Speaker 1: They don't change the fact that they were able to 50 00:02:51,120 --> 00:02:57,079 Speaker 1: convince so many people that democracies in peril. Democracy really 51 00:02:57,200 --> 00:02:59,200 Speaker 1: is it's so in peril or is it all okay? 52 00:02:59,240 --> 00:03:02,160 Speaker 1: Now that they did better than anticipated in the election, 53 00:03:02,280 --> 00:03:04,880 Speaker 1: I guess it wasn't really in peril. But they're going 54 00:03:04,919 --> 00:03:06,880 Speaker 1: to run the same playbook the next time around. They're 55 00:03:06,880 --> 00:03:11,040 Speaker 1: gonna push for the same things and on the issues 56 00:03:11,240 --> 00:03:16,080 Speaker 1: of inflation and crime and climate. By the way, they're 57 00:03:16,120 --> 00:03:20,640 Speaker 1: not moving an inch. They're going to keep on pushing 58 00:03:20,760 --> 00:03:25,120 Speaker 1: for massive government spending. They're going to continue to demand 59 00:03:25,919 --> 00:03:29,480 Speaker 1: that we all act like this is not completely insane. 60 00:03:29,720 --> 00:03:31,359 Speaker 1: Let me give you an example. Let me give you 61 00:03:31,360 --> 00:03:33,680 Speaker 1: an example of this. You're gonna hear a lot more 62 00:03:33,720 --> 00:03:35,840 Speaker 1: about climate change from the Democrats right now than you 63 00:03:35,840 --> 00:03:38,800 Speaker 1: have it in months. Because remember Joe Biden this past 64 00:03:38,840 --> 00:03:42,560 Speaker 1: summer was all, yeah, oil, you know, I like oil. 65 00:03:42,760 --> 00:03:45,480 Speaker 1: It's you know, not a joke. Oils thing we use, 66 00:03:46,560 --> 00:03:52,640 Speaker 1: goes into cars, you know, the room room machines. Oil. Yeah. Yeah, 67 00:03:52,920 --> 00:03:55,680 Speaker 1: all of a sudden, that was the tone, that was 68 00:03:55,760 --> 00:03:58,680 Speaker 1: the approach. But that's not what he came into office saying. 69 00:03:59,400 --> 00:04:02,840 Speaker 1: Now that you've seen the midterms pass, still not determine 70 00:04:02,880 --> 00:04:06,320 Speaker 1: what exactly has happened, but they've got they've gotten beyond 71 00:04:06,840 --> 00:04:09,520 Speaker 1: the accountability zone where they have to pretend to care 72 00:04:09,560 --> 00:04:15,120 Speaker 1: about voters concerns so they can just get that last 73 00:04:15,160 --> 00:04:18,560 Speaker 1: sliver of votes necessary to stay in power. Here is 74 00:04:18,680 --> 00:04:24,880 Speaker 1: Biden today at the UN Climate Conference, apologizing on behalf 75 00:04:24,920 --> 00:04:29,120 Speaker 1: of the United States. Oh, it's so sad for pulling 76 00:04:29,120 --> 00:04:32,560 Speaker 1: out of the Paris Climate Agreement. Play clip two from 77 00:04:32,560 --> 00:04:36,719 Speaker 1: my first days in office. My administration has led with 78 00:04:36,760 --> 00:04:40,080 Speaker 1: a bold agenda to address the climate crisis and increase 79 00:04:40,240 --> 00:04:45,280 Speaker 1: energy security at home and around the world. We immediately 80 00:04:45,279 --> 00:04:50,200 Speaker 1: rejoined the Paris Agreement, We convened major climate summits and 81 00:04:50,320 --> 00:04:55,440 Speaker 1: re established I apologize ever pulled out of the agreement, 82 00:04:55,920 --> 00:05:00,599 Speaker 1: we established Major Economic and Major Economy's Forum. Just countries 83 00:05:00,600 --> 00:05:07,080 Speaker 1: are on the road to raise raise their climate ambitions. Yeah, 84 00:05:07,440 --> 00:05:11,440 Speaker 1: raise their climate ambitions. That's what think about this. We're 85 00:05:11,480 --> 00:05:16,159 Speaker 1: all dealing with still very high inflation, price of everything 86 00:05:16,279 --> 00:05:20,479 Speaker 1: is up, supply chain issues all over, and Biden wants 87 00:05:20,520 --> 00:05:23,320 Speaker 1: to lecture you about CO two emissions and spend a 88 00:05:23,320 --> 00:05:25,919 Speaker 1: lot more of your money to deal with it. How 89 00:05:26,040 --> 00:05:29,840 Speaker 1: much more of your money? How much more? John Kerry 90 00:05:29,920 --> 00:05:36,560 Speaker 1: is the perfect climate czar because he is a liberal elitist, 91 00:05:36,640 --> 00:05:40,080 Speaker 1: disconnected from people who have ever had to really earn 92 00:05:40,120 --> 00:05:45,600 Speaker 1: a living. John Kerry married very wealthy women twice and 93 00:05:45,839 --> 00:05:48,960 Speaker 1: currently is worth hundreds of millions of dollars. I think 94 00:05:48,960 --> 00:05:52,359 Speaker 1: he may be among He is either the wealthiest or 95 00:05:52,640 --> 00:05:56,440 Speaker 1: certainly in the top echelon of wealth of any of 96 00:05:56,480 --> 00:06:02,679 Speaker 1: the recent senators that we have seen. And John carries 97 00:06:02,680 --> 00:06:05,279 Speaker 1: out there doing his climate thing, you might be wondering, 98 00:06:05,839 --> 00:06:08,200 Speaker 1: how much are they willing to spend? How much do 99 00:06:08,240 --> 00:06:10,800 Speaker 1: they want to spend that's a better way of putting it. 100 00:06:10,880 --> 00:06:14,440 Speaker 1: How much do the climate lives? The midterm just happened. 101 00:06:14,839 --> 00:06:16,800 Speaker 1: Now you get to hear what they really think, you know, 102 00:06:16,880 --> 00:06:19,159 Speaker 1: now all of a sudden, it's not Hey, let's take 103 00:06:19,200 --> 00:06:22,040 Speaker 1: some photos of us shooting guns and talking about how 104 00:06:22,080 --> 00:06:25,680 Speaker 1: we love oil and yeah, natural gas, drill, baby drill. 105 00:06:26,200 --> 00:06:28,680 Speaker 1: That was Democrats and tight races or in places like 106 00:06:28,720 --> 00:06:30,920 Speaker 1: Ohio that they were hoping to make a tight race. 107 00:06:31,760 --> 00:06:35,400 Speaker 1: And now that's now that that's over with the theatrics, 108 00:06:36,400 --> 00:06:40,040 Speaker 1: the lies, quite honestly, no need for them anymore. So 109 00:06:40,080 --> 00:06:43,120 Speaker 1: here you have John Carrey, who is Biden's climate czar, 110 00:06:43,880 --> 00:06:47,479 Speaker 1: who is talking about, how, you know, really to solve this, 111 00:06:48,200 --> 00:06:51,040 Speaker 1: It's just gonna cost like a couple trillion every year 112 00:06:51,279 --> 00:06:54,320 Speaker 1: for you know, thirty years or so. Play clip one. 113 00:06:54,480 --> 00:06:57,440 Speaker 1: Once the rules get fully worked out and everybody's in 114 00:06:57,480 --> 00:07:00,679 Speaker 1: a comfort place, hopefully this will be able amented because 115 00:07:00,680 --> 00:07:04,600 Speaker 1: we desperately need the money. There is not enough money 116 00:07:04,760 --> 00:07:09,840 Speaker 1: in any country in the world to actually solve this problem. 117 00:07:09,880 --> 00:07:13,240 Speaker 1: It takes trinions, and no government that I know of 118 00:07:13,360 --> 00:07:16,560 Speaker 1: is ready to put trillions into this on an annual basis. 119 00:07:16,960 --> 00:07:21,600 Speaker 1: That's what scientists and the UN Finance Report say. We 120 00:07:21,720 --> 00:07:23,800 Speaker 1: must do two and a half to four and a 121 00:07:23,840 --> 00:07:27,920 Speaker 1: half trillion every year for the next thirty years. Four 122 00:07:27,960 --> 00:07:32,560 Speaker 1: and a half trillion dollars spread among different countries. Which 123 00:07:32,560 --> 00:07:34,320 Speaker 1: country you think is going to carry that burden by 124 00:07:34,360 --> 00:07:38,160 Speaker 1: far the most? Right? This one four and a half 125 00:07:38,200 --> 00:07:41,160 Speaker 1: trillion dollars. I mean, I think Russia, just to put 126 00:07:41,160 --> 00:07:46,480 Speaker 1: this in perspective, has a an annual GDP. Russia's economy 127 00:07:46,600 --> 00:07:51,440 Speaker 1: is about a trillion dollars. Give or well free Ukraine 128 00:07:51,480 --> 00:07:53,200 Speaker 1: ward all that's changed things, but it was I think 129 00:07:53,240 --> 00:07:58,480 Speaker 1: about a trillion dollars. So yeah, we're gonna spend four 130 00:07:58,520 --> 00:08:00,640 Speaker 1: trillion a year to deal with an imagine problem so 131 00:08:00,720 --> 00:08:03,880 Speaker 1: lives can feel good about themselves. We say this out loud, 132 00:08:04,080 --> 00:08:07,760 Speaker 1: We point this out at and normal people, emotionally healthy, 133 00:08:07,800 --> 00:08:10,840 Speaker 1: stable adults usually who have a relationship with God and 134 00:08:10,880 --> 00:08:13,640 Speaker 1: a good relationship with their family and their people in 135 00:08:13,680 --> 00:08:15,680 Speaker 1: their lives, they hear the stuff and they go, this 136 00:08:15,760 --> 00:08:21,120 Speaker 1: is lunacy. But if you're somebody for whom climate change 137 00:08:21,200 --> 00:08:24,160 Speaker 1: is a religious belief that allows you to do nothing 138 00:08:24,160 --> 00:08:26,640 Speaker 1: but feel good about yourself at the expense of others, 139 00:08:26,800 --> 00:08:30,880 Speaker 1: you're smarter than others, you're wealthy, or more sophisticated, care 140 00:08:30,920 --> 00:08:33,520 Speaker 1: more about the planet. That's the whole purpose of it. 141 00:08:33,520 --> 00:08:40,920 Speaker 1: It's effectively a belief system. It is a credo of superiority, 142 00:08:41,280 --> 00:08:44,320 Speaker 1: because no person who's trying to actually figure out their lives, 143 00:08:44,320 --> 00:08:47,200 Speaker 1: pay their bills and work hard. Certainly in the rest 144 00:08:47,240 --> 00:08:48,800 Speaker 1: of the world too, is like, you know what, I'm 145 00:08:48,800 --> 00:08:52,400 Speaker 1: really worried about climate change. Time to make things more expensive, 146 00:08:52,440 --> 00:08:54,240 Speaker 1: make it harder for me to feed my family, pay 147 00:08:54,280 --> 00:08:57,079 Speaker 1: my bills, so we can tackle the problem of climate change. 148 00:08:57,200 --> 00:09:00,839 Speaker 1: Four trillion dollars a year, he just said, and he says, well, 149 00:09:00,840 --> 00:09:05,040 Speaker 1: Wolf spread that around a few different a few different countries. 150 00:09:05,480 --> 00:09:09,319 Speaker 1: No one country is going to want to pay that. 151 00:09:09,559 --> 00:09:13,480 Speaker 1: And I don't even think that Teresa Hines has enough 152 00:09:13,559 --> 00:09:17,000 Speaker 1: to pay four trillion a year. So yeah, that's right. 153 00:09:17,600 --> 00:09:19,600 Speaker 1: The US won't pay four trillion a year because you know, 154 00:09:19,600 --> 00:09:22,880 Speaker 1: even Democrats can't sell that one, but they effectively want 155 00:09:22,920 --> 00:09:28,640 Speaker 1: to socialize those costs in the effort to create a 156 00:09:28,679 --> 00:09:32,640 Speaker 1: global socialist scheme to redistribute wealth from developing countries to 157 00:09:33,480 --> 00:09:37,480 Speaker 1: underdeveloped countries or or you know, countries that are third 158 00:09:37,520 --> 00:09:41,440 Speaker 1: world whatever the whatever the preferred nomenclature maybe right now, 159 00:09:42,160 --> 00:09:45,480 Speaker 1: and I just want everyone to be clear on what 160 00:09:45,520 --> 00:09:47,880 Speaker 1: you're gonna hear in the weeks and months and not 161 00:09:47,960 --> 00:09:49,840 Speaker 1: in Georgia and Georgia, You're gonna hear a lot of 162 00:09:49,840 --> 00:09:53,880 Speaker 1: stuff that in the Senate runoff, you know, Raphael Warnock 163 00:09:54,000 --> 00:09:55,320 Speaker 1: is going to be saying, oh, you know, the price 164 00:09:55,320 --> 00:09:57,600 Speaker 1: of things is too high and we need to tackle 165 00:09:57,600 --> 00:10:00,840 Speaker 1: the problem of crime. And you notice the Democrats to 166 00:10:00,960 --> 00:10:04,240 Speaker 1: pull it off in these close elections. I'm talking about, 167 00:10:04,360 --> 00:10:08,680 Speaker 1: you know, California or some of these statewide elections that 168 00:10:08,679 --> 00:10:11,160 Speaker 1: are just going to go super blue. But even Kathy Hokel, 169 00:10:11,240 --> 00:10:15,040 Speaker 1: as I said in New York, pretended to be less 170 00:10:15,160 --> 00:10:18,880 Speaker 1: crazy just to throw things off enough that she could 171 00:10:18,920 --> 00:10:22,440 Speaker 1: keep her job, pretended like she's not a zealot and 172 00:10:22,480 --> 00:10:25,120 Speaker 1: a loon so that she could continue to be the 173 00:10:25,160 --> 00:10:27,600 Speaker 1: governor of York can ruin that state. I'll just tell 174 00:10:27,640 --> 00:10:31,680 Speaker 1: you right now, you're going to hear from Warnock a 175 00:10:31,760 --> 00:10:33,800 Speaker 1: very different message than you're going to hear from the 176 00:10:33,800 --> 00:10:37,040 Speaker 1: rest of the or from national level Democrats, people that 177 00:10:37,080 --> 00:10:40,280 Speaker 1: are making the news cycle, because he's got a full 178 00:10:40,520 --> 00:10:43,319 Speaker 1: Georgians into thinking that he really does care about their 179 00:10:43,360 --> 00:10:46,280 Speaker 1: problems and isn't a socialist and isn't on board for 180 00:10:47,400 --> 00:10:50,200 Speaker 1: you know, the planned parenthood agenda, which he is even 181 00:10:50,200 --> 00:10:54,320 Speaker 1: though he's a pastor isn't on board for the more 182 00:10:54,360 --> 00:10:59,840 Speaker 1: extreme left wing Marxist economic policies that have overtaken much 183 00:10:59,880 --> 00:11:02,560 Speaker 1: of the Democrat Party, which of course he is. You 184 00:11:02,600 --> 00:11:04,920 Speaker 1: notice the trends here. It's exactly as we tell you. 185 00:11:05,000 --> 00:11:08,880 Speaker 1: Democrats pretend to believe things other than that which they 186 00:11:08,960 --> 00:11:12,760 Speaker 1: do right before people vote. And then the moment that 187 00:11:12,800 --> 00:11:14,839 Speaker 1: people vote, a moment, the moment that it's all passed, 188 00:11:14,880 --> 00:11:16,840 Speaker 1: what do they do? Tell you what they really think? 189 00:11:17,400 --> 00:11:19,640 Speaker 1: And they'll keep doing that, and they'll push those policies, 190 00:11:19,640 --> 00:11:23,680 Speaker 1: and they'll they'll continue, well, fine, think of something that's radical, 191 00:11:23,720 --> 00:11:26,200 Speaker 1: think of something that they know is out of the 192 00:11:26,240 --> 00:11:30,240 Speaker 1: mainstream of what the American people by majority would go for, 193 00:11:30,880 --> 00:11:33,760 Speaker 1: and they'll push it after the election. Look at Joe Biden, 194 00:11:34,360 --> 00:11:36,480 Speaker 1: in some ways he may be the best example of this. 195 00:11:36,880 --> 00:11:39,240 Speaker 1: Joe Biden's running in twenty twenty. What what are he 196 00:11:39,280 --> 00:11:42,200 Speaker 1: talking about? I'm uniting. I'm gonna brig country together. And 197 00:11:42,320 --> 00:11:44,960 Speaker 1: not a joke. It's gonna be you know, I'm not kidding. 198 00:11:44,960 --> 00:11:48,400 Speaker 1: It's gonna be just me uniting, uniting everybody you know where. 199 00:11:49,520 --> 00:11:53,040 Speaker 1: It's gonna be great. We're gonna unite. You know. When 200 00:11:53,040 --> 00:11:56,600 Speaker 1: he does the creepy whisper. But then he gets into office, 201 00:11:56,640 --> 00:11:58,120 Speaker 1: what does he do right? Or he kills the Keystone 202 00:11:58,240 --> 00:12:03,679 Speaker 1: XL pipeline. The White House is talking about how care 203 00:12:03,840 --> 00:12:09,320 Speaker 1: for miners for children involves full gender transition surgeries, and 204 00:12:09,360 --> 00:12:10,800 Speaker 1: that's from the White House, by the way, that they 205 00:12:10,800 --> 00:12:14,000 Speaker 1: actually on board for all that. But you see, they're 206 00:12:14,000 --> 00:12:16,080 Speaker 1: just playing the game to win. They don't care that 207 00:12:16,160 --> 00:12:18,480 Speaker 1: they have to lie that they're changing the structures in 208 00:12:18,520 --> 00:12:22,199 Speaker 1: these states. So, if anything, I think this midterm is 209 00:12:22,800 --> 00:12:25,040 Speaker 1: a wake up call for people and we should pay 210 00:12:25,080 --> 00:12:28,000 Speaker 1: attention to what they're doing. There is nothing that is 211 00:12:28,040 --> 00:12:34,240 Speaker 1: too ruthless, too dishonest, or to destructive for Democrats as 212 00:12:34,280 --> 00:12:36,640 Speaker 1: long as they can stay in power. They don't care 213 00:12:37,640 --> 00:12:40,200 Speaker 1: what they said yesterday. They'll change it today. Doesn't matter 214 00:12:40,840 --> 00:12:43,120 Speaker 1: what they promised to do two months ago. Now they 215 00:12:43,160 --> 00:12:45,960 Speaker 1: completely flip on it, doesn't matter what they said was 216 00:12:46,000 --> 00:12:48,599 Speaker 1: an extreme position that they would never hold. All of 217 00:12:48,679 --> 00:12:52,160 Speaker 1: a sudden, they're big advocates for it. This is what 218 00:12:52,240 --> 00:12:55,320 Speaker 1: we were up against. They have to have power taken 219 00:12:55,400 --> 00:12:58,000 Speaker 1: from them or else. That's just continues. This is why 220 00:12:58,040 --> 00:13:00,760 Speaker 1: I'm trying to get everyone so focused on the on. 221 00:13:01,160 --> 00:13:04,280 Speaker 1: We just have to win. They will not stop the 222 00:13:04,480 --> 00:13:08,960 Speaker 1: results the bad decision making. Look at COVID. I'm sitting 223 00:13:09,000 --> 00:13:12,600 Speaker 1: here and I am I don't say I'm furious very often. 224 00:13:12,640 --> 00:13:15,560 Speaker 1: I am furious about what those idiots did all over 225 00:13:15,559 --> 00:13:19,280 Speaker 1: the country. The Democrat Fauci left did do all of 226 00:13:19,320 --> 00:13:22,040 Speaker 1: us over with COVID. And even if you were in 227 00:13:22,040 --> 00:13:23,760 Speaker 1: a red state, it became an issue for you because, 228 00:13:23,760 --> 00:13:25,440 Speaker 1: first of all, some red states weren't very good on this, 229 00:13:25,480 --> 00:13:27,640 Speaker 1: but second of all, they try to federalize the whole thing. 230 00:13:28,000 --> 00:13:31,439 Speaker 1: You certainly dealt with it on planes. Did anybody seem 231 00:13:31,480 --> 00:13:35,679 Speaker 1: to vote based upon that? No, people forgot. Democrats started 232 00:13:35,720 --> 00:13:38,120 Speaker 1: to lie, rewrite the history. Oh we didn't close down 233 00:13:38,120 --> 00:13:40,559 Speaker 1: the schools. Look what Gretcher. Look what Gretchen Whitmer did. 234 00:13:41,080 --> 00:13:45,640 Speaker 1: The Queen of school closed down in Michigan. Oh, I'm 235 00:13:45,640 --> 00:13:49,120 Speaker 1: just gonna keep everybody safe. Oh yeah, she shuts down 236 00:13:49,160 --> 00:13:50,760 Speaker 1: the schools. What does she do when she's in a 237 00:13:50,800 --> 00:13:53,439 Speaker 1: close election. I didn't shut down the schools. Media amplifies 238 00:13:53,480 --> 00:13:56,840 Speaker 1: that message, she gets away with it. Just trying to 239 00:13:56,920 --> 00:13:59,280 Speaker 1: just trying to set the table, folks, this is who 240 00:14:00,000 --> 00:14:02,600 Speaker 1: we are up against, and this is who we have 241 00:14:02,679 --> 00:14:05,640 Speaker 1: to defeat in elections like the one we just had. 242 00:14:06,760 --> 00:14:08,960 Speaker 1: Gun owners know the price of ammunition has gone up 243 00:14:08,960 --> 00:14:11,400 Speaker 1: double digits, makes it all the more expensive to train 244 00:14:11,440 --> 00:14:13,760 Speaker 1: and keep your skills sharp with the firearms that you own. 245 00:14:14,120 --> 00:14:16,480 Speaker 1: The alternative is learning to train yourself with what's called 246 00:14:16,520 --> 00:14:18,920 Speaker 1: a dry fire practice, and you can do that at home, 247 00:14:19,040 --> 00:14:22,160 Speaker 1: not the range. The best shooters do the majority of 248 00:14:22,200 --> 00:14:24,680 Speaker 1: their training these days with just this kind of system 249 00:14:24,760 --> 00:14:28,080 Speaker 1: like the Mantis X. The Mantis X is a firearms 250 00:14:28,080 --> 00:14:30,600 Speaker 1: training system that is no AMMO, all electronic, and it's 251 00:14:30,640 --> 00:14:34,600 Speaker 1: a way to really improve your shooting accuracy. Mantis X 252 00:14:34,960 --> 00:14:37,800 Speaker 1: simply attaches to your firearm like a weapon light. You 253 00:14:37,800 --> 00:14:39,440 Speaker 1: can use it at home or at the range for 254 00:14:39,480 --> 00:14:43,160 Speaker 1: training instead of using expensive MMO. The Mantis X gives 255 00:14:43,160 --> 00:14:46,440 Speaker 1: you data driven, real time feedback on your technique and 256 00:14:46,560 --> 00:14:49,560 Speaker 1: guides you through drills and courses. Ninety four percent of 257 00:14:49,600 --> 00:14:53,520 Speaker 1: shooters improved within twenty minutes using Mantis X. This is 258 00:14:53,520 --> 00:14:56,040 Speaker 1: a product now being used by the US Marines and Army. 259 00:14:56,440 --> 00:15:00,440 Speaker 1: It's a military grade technology that's affordable for you.

It's just 266 00:15:22,280 --> 00:15:25,040 Speaker 1: Buck for this hour. Clay had to step away from 267 00:15:25,080 --> 00:15:27,640 Speaker 1: the mic and I have a lot talked about as 268 00:15:27,680 --> 00:15:31,360 Speaker 1: we continue to go here. For one thing, I was 269 00:15:31,400 --> 00:15:36,440 Speaker 1: just discussing the situation in Georgia and I want it. 270 00:15:36,520 --> 00:15:40,000 Speaker 1: We had herschel Walker on earlier. He is going to 271 00:15:40,040 --> 00:15:43,120 Speaker 1: be working with Kemp to make sure that this final 272 00:15:44,040 --> 00:15:46,440 Speaker 1: we don't know what the lack salt situation is looks 273 00:15:46,800 --> 00:15:49,800 Speaker 1: and Blake Masters is behind, so we're getting a little 274 00:15:49,800 --> 00:15:52,840 Speaker 1: ahead of it. But it's likely that the herschel Walkers said, look, 275 00:15:52,840 --> 00:15:55,120 Speaker 1: it's important to get that Senate seat. No matter what. 276 00:15:55,760 --> 00:15:58,600 Speaker 1: The Democrats are going to have a very challenging Senate 277 00:15:58,640 --> 00:16:03,080 Speaker 1: map to defend in twenty twenty four. They're gonna have 278 00:16:03,120 --> 00:16:05,400 Speaker 1: a lot of places where they are going to be 279 00:16:06,360 --> 00:16:09,760 Speaker 1: in a very difficult position to hold on to seats. 280 00:16:10,160 --> 00:16:13,280 Speaker 1: So you know, there are some places you say, you know, 281 00:16:13,360 --> 00:16:14,920 Speaker 1: you realize you say, there's a Democrat who as a 282 00:16:14,960 --> 00:16:17,720 Speaker 1: senence either that's crazy. Well, yeah, there are some places 283 00:16:17,720 --> 00:16:19,720 Speaker 1: like that, but they'll be up next time around a 284 00:16:19,840 --> 00:16:23,720 Speaker 1: number of them. But here is here we heard from 285 00:16:23,720 --> 00:16:26,680 Speaker 1: Herschel I'll want you here from Raphael Warnock, who's trying 286 00:16:26,680 --> 00:16:29,280 Speaker 1: to make the case that this is about competence Plague 287 00:16:29,280 --> 00:16:33,440 Speaker 1: clip eight. This race is about competence and it's about character. 288 00:16:33,800 --> 00:16:36,720 Speaker 1: And when it comes to that, the choice could not 289 00:16:36,800 --> 00:16:40,480 Speaker 1: be more clear between me and Herschel Walker. Some things 290 00:16:40,480 --> 00:16:43,800 Speaker 1: in life are complicated, this ain't one of them. I 291 00:16:43,800 --> 00:16:46,160 Speaker 1: think it's really interesting that's that he says that because 292 00:16:46,160 --> 00:16:50,720 Speaker 1: it's so clear. For Democrats it is absolutely not about competence, 293 00:16:51,000 --> 00:16:53,840 Speaker 1: because they just voted for John Fetterman and Joe Biden 294 00:16:53,960 --> 00:16:56,560 Speaker 1: is the president, and they would vote for any person 295 00:16:56,920 --> 00:17:01,480 Speaker 1: in any race, in any mental condition or cognitive condition, 296 00:17:02,800 --> 00:17:05,960 Speaker 1: based upon whether or not that person's a Democrat. We 297 00:17:06,040 --> 00:17:09,560 Speaker 1: are up against people who are obsessed with raw power 298 00:17:09,720 --> 00:17:13,960 Speaker 1: and the exercise thereof Look at what they turned into 299 00:17:14,040 --> 00:17:16,600 Speaker 1: during COVID. When there was a time that they could 300 00:17:16,640 --> 00:17:20,879 Speaker 1: act as true authoritarians, they went all out. They seized 301 00:17:21,000 --> 00:17:24,720 Speaker 1: upon it. They want to have their side in charge. 302 00:17:24,760 --> 00:17:28,240 Speaker 1: They can't imagine, imagine what it would be like to 303 00:17:28,400 --> 00:17:32,320 Speaker 1: actually let people live their lives. You know, it really 304 00:17:32,440 --> 00:17:35,520 Speaker 1: is true that these days a democrat in America is 305 00:17:35,560 --> 00:17:38,560 Speaker 1: somebody who lives with the constant, terrifying notion in their 306 00:17:38,560 --> 00:17:41,640 Speaker 1: heads that someone somewhere in America is leading a life 307 00:17:41,680 --> 00:17:45,920 Speaker 1: of purpose and freedom without the government constantly harassing them. 308 00:17:46,480 --> 00:17:48,679 Speaker 1: That's what a democrat is is.

Welcome to 347 00:19:54,560 --> 00:19:57,640 Speaker 1: Clan Bucks here. You're talking to Buck. Hey, Buck, thanks 348 00:19:57,640 --> 00:20:00,679 Speaker 1: so much for taking my call. My and some of 349 00:20:00,680 --> 00:20:03,960 Speaker 1: this post election analysis is how much of a role 350 00:20:04,080 --> 00:20:07,639 Speaker 1: did the disparity in finances play? And by that I 351 00:20:07,680 --> 00:20:10,639 Speaker 1: mean the democratic advantage in some of these races. I 352 00:20:10,680 --> 00:20:13,040 Speaker 1: mean I heard they were help supending with Publand's five 353 00:20:13,080 --> 00:20:15,280 Speaker 1: to one, ten to one. I mean, how did that 354 00:20:15,359 --> 00:20:18,280 Speaker 1: translate in some of these close races to wins for 355 00:20:18,359 --> 00:20:23,080 Speaker 1: Democrats just by getting severely outgunned. No, it's always it's 356 00:20:23,119 --> 00:20:25,199 Speaker 1: always important. I mean, I would say that money in 357 00:20:25,240 --> 00:20:29,119 Speaker 1: politics is like money in life. It's not everything, but 358 00:20:29,240 --> 00:20:32,720 Speaker 1: it helps, and it does, it does make a difference. 359 00:20:33,359 --> 00:20:36,280 Speaker 1: Now you have, for example, I think Warnock in Georgia 360 00:20:36,359 --> 00:20:38,479 Speaker 1: had one hundred and twenty million spent to something like 361 00:20:38,640 --> 00:20:43,080 Speaker 1: thirty five million spent by herschel Walker. So it's it's 362 00:20:43,119 --> 00:20:48,200 Speaker 1: really and the money spend overwhelmingly goes to TV ads 363 00:20:48,240 --> 00:20:51,840 Speaker 1: still for these elections, so that you're buying airtime. So 364 00:20:51,960 --> 00:20:53,880 Speaker 1: just think about it this way. If they're lying about 365 00:20:53,920 --> 00:20:56,120 Speaker 1: a candidate one way or the other, and they can 366 00:20:56,160 --> 00:21:01,760 Speaker 1: saturate the airways airwaves that messaging, it's going to have 367 00:21:01,800 --> 00:21:05,200 Speaker 1: an effect, especially because as we're seeing these places, we're 368 00:21:05,240 --> 00:21:09,600 Speaker 1: talking about fifty eight forty two I'm sorry, forty eight 369 00:21:09,600 --> 00:21:11,800 Speaker 1: fifty two, pardon me, forty eight fifty two or even 370 00:21:11,800 --> 00:21:16,560 Speaker 1: fifty fifty kind of elections where it's really that last 371 00:21:16,680 --> 00:21:21,399 Speaker 1: trunch of fifteen thousand voters, fifty thousand voters something like that. 372 00:21:21,440 --> 00:21:23,320 Speaker 1: Who we're going to determine it. So the answer your 373 00:21:23,400 --> 00:21:26,120 Speaker 1: question is it matters. Democrats have an advantage on this 374 00:21:26,200 --> 00:21:28,720 Speaker 1: in a lot of these big races, and a lot 375 00:21:28,720 --> 00:21:30,320 Speaker 1: of it is because they get so much money in 376 00:21:30,440 --> 00:21:34,199 Speaker 1: from California and New York. But it's not everything, right, 377 00:21:34,240 --> 00:21:36,120 Speaker 1: I mean, look at Stacy Abrams. She had a ton 378 00:21:36,160 --> 00:21:41,760 Speaker 1: of money coming in and she lost bigly to Camp. 379 00:21:41,800 --> 00:21:44,280 Speaker 1: So thank you very much, Brian for calling in Steve 380 00:21:44,560 --> 00:21:49,960 Speaker 1: in Syracuse, New York. Steve, what's going on block? Good afternoon, 381 00:21:50,000 --> 00:21:52,840 Speaker 1: how are you doing, sir? Good, sir, thank you good. 382 00:21:53,200 --> 00:21:55,439 Speaker 1: I've been thinking about the things that the Trump has 383 00:21:55,440 --> 00:22:00,359 Speaker 1: been saying, you know, kind of causing a lot of comfort, 384 00:22:00,440 --> 00:22:02,199 Speaker 1: will say. And one of the things that Rush used 385 00:22:02,240 --> 00:22:05,240 Speaker 1: to say is Trump built himself up. He wasn't built 386 00:22:05,280 --> 00:22:07,720 Speaker 1: up by media, and as such, the only person that 387 00:22:07,720 --> 00:22:12,560 Speaker 1: could destroy Trump would be himself. And knowing that he's 388 00:22:12,640 --> 00:22:15,560 Speaker 1: fully capable on a sharp guy, why would he be 389 00:22:15,640 --> 00:22:20,400 Speaker 1: doing this? And my thought possibly is if he could 390 00:22:20,440 --> 00:22:23,240 Speaker 1: get someone who is a Trump voter like myself and 391 00:22:23,359 --> 00:22:26,000 Speaker 1: now not be interested in Trump, my next person I 392 00:22:26,040 --> 00:22:30,400 Speaker 1: would go to would be DeSantis. M. So you think 393 00:22:30,400 --> 00:22:34,320 Speaker 1: that Trump is intentionally doing things that will drive his 394 00:22:34,480 --> 00:22:39,000 Speaker 1: voters to de Santis? Well, everything he does is intentional. M. 395 00:22:40,000 --> 00:22:42,880 Speaker 1: I'm gonna tell you something, right, you know, I'm gonna 396 00:22:42,920 --> 00:22:44,560 Speaker 1: be honest with you, Steve. I'm always honest with all 397 00:22:44,560 --> 00:22:49,320 Speaker 1: of you. Not everything that he does is is spot 398 00:22:49,359 --> 00:22:51,440 Speaker 1: on meaning that Trump has made. Look, I'll give you 399 00:22:51,440 --> 00:22:55,520 Speaker 1: an example, not just keeping a general here, personnel decisions, right, 400 00:22:56,320 --> 00:22:59,600 Speaker 1: some of Trump's personnel decisions were really really bad. And 401 00:22:59,640 --> 00:23:01,439 Speaker 1: people used to argue with me about that. Who are 402 00:23:01,440 --> 00:23:03,679 Speaker 1: Trumps and borders and I'm like, I voted for him twice. 403 00:23:03,840 --> 00:23:05,800 Speaker 1: I think he was a great president. I'm all, you know, 404 00:23:05,840 --> 00:23:08,720 Speaker 1: I was all about the MAGA movement, but some of 405 00:23:08,720 --> 00:23:10,760 Speaker 1: his picks were bad. Trump now says, yeah, some of 406 00:23:10,760 --> 00:23:12,840 Speaker 1: my picks were bad. It's the Trump admits that some 407 00:23:12,920 --> 00:23:14,960 Speaker 1: of his picks were bad. He's a person just like 408 00:23:15,000 --> 00:23:18,480 Speaker 1: any other person. He makes mistakes like people make mistakes. 409 00:23:18,480 --> 00:23:20,960 Speaker 1: So don't think that I wouldn't get into the four 410 00:23:21,080 --> 00:23:25,280 Speaker 1: D chess phenomenon of everything that he does is necessarily 411 00:23:25,880 --> 00:23:29,560 Speaker 1: some stroke of strategic brilliance. And I'm just I thank 412 00:23:29,600 --> 00:23:31,400 Speaker 1: you for calling him. By the way, s D from Syracus. 413 00:23:31,600 --> 00:23:36,560 Speaker 1: I'm trying to warn everybody from thinking that twenty twenty 414 00:23:36,600 --> 00:23:40,840 Speaker 1: four could be a replay of twenty sixteen, just based 415 00:23:40,960 --> 00:23:44,400 Speaker 1: on the media environment. The fact that Trump has banned 416 00:23:44,440 --> 00:23:46,440 Speaker 1: from social media. Now he may get back on Twitter, 417 00:23:46,480 --> 00:23:49,680 Speaker 1: we'll see, still banned from Facebook and Instagram, still banned 418 00:23:49,680 --> 00:23:53,040 Speaker 1: from some other I don't know about YouTube, but that's 419 00:23:53,040 --> 00:23:54,800 Speaker 1: not really a platform that he was using that much. 420 00:23:55,400 --> 00:23:59,480 Speaker 1: So it's a different environment. It's a different battlefield in 421 00:23:59,520 --> 00:24:02,679 Speaker 1: twenty twenty four politically that we face, and maybe that 422 00:24:02,760 --> 00:24:05,080 Speaker 1: means that Trump adapts to it really well, maybe that 423 00:24:05,160 --> 00:24:08,840 Speaker 1: means that in some ways he'll be you know, even 424 00:24:08,840 --> 00:24:12,480 Speaker 1: more season the better. That's fine, that's a wait and see, 425 00:24:12,960 --> 00:24:16,360 Speaker 1: but you know, tweets and huge rallies and having CNN 426 00:24:16,359 --> 00:24:18,640 Speaker 1: and MSNBC run the huge rallies because they think it's 427 00:24:18,680 --> 00:24:21,240 Speaker 1: hilarious and then they found out too late. Oh my gosh, 428 00:24:21,280 --> 00:24:24,359 Speaker 1: we've created this monster here by giving them billions of 429 00:24:24,400 --> 00:24:26,560 Speaker 1: dollars of free airtime, which is what they ended up doing. 430 00:24:27,600 --> 00:24:30,560 Speaker 1: That's not happening again, right, So it's a different They're 431 00:24:30,560 --> 00:24:32,520 Speaker 1: gonna shut him down, they're gonna cut him off. They're 432 00:24:32,520 --> 00:24:34,320 Speaker 1: not going to allow his message to get out there. 433 00:24:34,560 --> 00:24:37,879 Speaker 1: So we have to find a different process for this. 434 00:24:38,400 --> 00:24:41,720 Speaker 1: Jason in Boston has some thoughts. Jason, how you doing? 435 00:24:42,880 --> 00:24:44,960 Speaker 1: Fuck a Lis a former marine. I want to thank 436 00:24:44,960 --> 00:24:47,399 Speaker 1: you on Clay for the reverence of the acknowledgement the 437 00:24:47,480 --> 00:24:51,480 Speaker 1: Veterans Day, and thank you for all your services our country. 438 00:24:51,480 --> 00:24:55,000 Speaker 1: Thank you, sir I. You know you were talking about 439 00:24:55,000 --> 00:24:56,720 Speaker 1: this during the sum of the both of you, how 440 00:24:57,000 --> 00:24:59,359 Speaker 1: we all had a dream ticket four years of Trump 441 00:24:59,359 --> 00:25:03,320 Speaker 1: and then eight is of De Santis, twelve years to 442 00:25:03,359 --> 00:25:06,159 Speaker 1: turn this ball of wax around to you know, and 443 00:25:07,160 --> 00:25:09,720 Speaker 1: it would really that would be the end of woke them. 444 00:25:10,240 --> 00:25:12,840 Speaker 1: And uh, and now you have two alpha dogs going 445 00:25:12,920 --> 00:25:16,240 Speaker 1: muscle to muscle at each other. I mean, it doesn't 446 00:25:16,240 --> 00:25:18,879 Speaker 1: it doesn't make a skis him in the party. What 447 00:25:18,920 --> 00:25:22,040 Speaker 1: do we do about this? I think it's a great question. 448 00:25:22,080 --> 00:25:24,160 Speaker 1: Obviously a lot of people thinking about it. I believe 449 00:25:24,200 --> 00:25:27,080 Speaker 1: it only makes this skis him in the party if 450 00:25:27,119 --> 00:25:31,000 Speaker 1: there's a sense you know, here's the problem. In twenty sixteen, 451 00:25:31,359 --> 00:25:34,720 Speaker 1: there were never Trumpers. So there people are saying, even 452 00:25:34,720 --> 00:25:37,239 Speaker 1: if he wins the primary, I will not support him. 453 00:25:37,280 --> 00:25:38,679 Speaker 1: And some of them have You've seen they've just flipped 454 00:25:38,720 --> 00:25:40,800 Speaker 1: and now they're straight up Democrats. People in the media, 455 00:25:40,920 --> 00:25:44,960 Speaker 1: people that were GOP establishment. You have these individuals for 456 00:25:45,000 --> 00:25:48,240 Speaker 1: whom it wasn't. Maybe Trump's not my guy early on, 457 00:25:48,800 --> 00:25:51,400 Speaker 1: but if he wins this fair and square, this primary, 458 00:25:51,440 --> 00:25:53,359 Speaker 1: I'm going to back him because I believe in the 459 00:25:53,400 --> 00:25:55,719 Speaker 1: agenda of the mission. A lot of people are like that, 460 00:25:55,880 --> 00:25:59,200 Speaker 1: right it was for the never Trumpers. I would rather 461 00:25:59,280 --> 00:26:03,600 Speaker 1: the country burn then support Donald Trump. Effectively, as long 462 00:26:03,640 --> 00:26:07,240 Speaker 1: as a de santists Trump throw down is Hey, look, 463 00:26:07,440 --> 00:26:09,239 Speaker 1: these are let's think of it like sports teams. These 464 00:26:09,240 --> 00:26:11,600 Speaker 1: are two great teams. If they want to go head 465 00:26:11,640 --> 00:26:14,320 Speaker 1: to head, we'll see how. We'll see what happens, but 466 00:26:14,400 --> 00:26:17,080 Speaker 1: we're going to be rooting for whichever team wins no 467 00:26:17,119 --> 00:26:19,159 Speaker 1: matter what. I don't think there has to be that 468 00:26:19,280 --> 00:26:22,320 Speaker 1: kind of schism. It was this. It was this poisonous 469 00:26:22,359 --> 00:26:25,600 Speaker 1: never Trump movement, which never made any sense to me. 470 00:26:25,720 --> 00:26:27,639 Speaker 1: I was like, you know, not to be too glib, 471 00:26:27,640 --> 00:26:29,119 Speaker 1: but I was like, never say never. What do you 472 00:26:29,160 --> 00:26:33,240 Speaker 1: mean never Trump? Right? That made it really toxic and 473 00:26:33,320 --> 00:26:35,680 Speaker 1: created real divisions of the party. I don't think we 474 00:26:35,720 --> 00:26:38,679 Speaker 1: would see that this time around meeting that everyone that 475 00:26:38,760 --> 00:26:41,680 Speaker 1: I know right now and talk to you about this says, Look, 476 00:26:41,680 --> 00:26:44,720 Speaker 1: if Ronda Santist runs against Trump and wins a primary 477 00:26:44,800 --> 00:26:48,199 Speaker 1: against him, they will gladly support ron De Santists. And 478 00:26:48,280 --> 00:26:50,119 Speaker 1: if they go head to head and Trump ends up 479 00:26:50,160 --> 00:26:52,960 Speaker 1: getting them, you know, the the votes he needs to 480 00:26:53,000 --> 00:26:56,480 Speaker 1: win the Republican primary, they'll gladly support Donald Trump. Again. 481 00:26:57,000 --> 00:27:00,240 Speaker 1: That's where I see it right now, and that I 482 00:27:00,240 --> 00:27:02,520 Speaker 1: think how we avoid what you're talking about. We'll see 483 00:27:02,920 --> 00:27:06,159 Speaker 1: Brian is from Kansas. He's a trucker. We love our 484 00:27:06,160 --> 00:27:07,840 Speaker 1: truckers on this show because a lot of them spend 485 00:27:07,920 --> 00:27:10,040 Speaker 1: three hours a day with us. We're rolling with them, 486 00:27:10,080 --> 00:27:12,840 Speaker 1: keeping them company in the in the big cab Brian, 487 00:27:12,840 --> 00:27:17,399 Speaker 1: how you doing, hey, Megadddo's boss. Thanks for taking my call, 488 00:27:17,800 --> 00:27:22,800 Speaker 1: Megadidos to you, sir, Yeah. To me, the biggest problem 489 00:27:22,880 --> 00:27:26,600 Speaker 1: that we have to solve on our side is the 490 00:27:26,640 --> 00:27:31,840 Speaker 1: split ticket voter. What happened in Georgia with you know, 491 00:27:31,920 --> 00:27:35,520 Speaker 1: Kemp getting so many more votes than herschel Walker and 492 00:27:35,560 --> 00:27:38,200 Speaker 1: what happened in my home state of Kansas where our 493 00:27:39,400 --> 00:27:42,359 Speaker 1: Senator Jerry Moran got sixty percent of the vote but 494 00:27:42,480 --> 00:27:48,240 Speaker 1: yet we re elected a Democrat governor. It is inexplicable 495 00:27:48,280 --> 00:27:52,320 Speaker 1: to me. And the only thing I can see, I mean, heck, 496 00:27:52,680 --> 00:27:56,320 Speaker 1: you know Chris Kobach, who was you know, radioactive two 497 00:27:56,400 --> 00:28:01,359 Speaker 1: years ago, got elected attorney general. You know, this is 498 00:28:01,440 --> 00:28:05,440 Speaker 1: just doesn't make sense to me. And the only thing 499 00:28:05,520 --> 00:28:09,760 Speaker 1: I can see is that it's the absurd amount of money, 500 00:28:09,840 --> 00:28:12,480 Speaker 1: which you know, the first caller this segment said, you know, 501 00:28:12,760 --> 00:28:16,480 Speaker 1: how do we combat that? Because they sure turned Derek 502 00:28:16,520 --> 00:28:20,240 Speaker 1: Schmidt into old Sam Brownback hammered it for months, and 503 00:28:20,440 --> 00:28:23,280 Speaker 1: I just don't know what the solution is and I 504 00:28:23,280 --> 00:28:25,800 Speaker 1: don't know if we can win a national election again 505 00:28:25,960 --> 00:28:28,760 Speaker 1: if we don't solve that split voter. Yeah, well, I 506 00:28:28,840 --> 00:28:32,880 Speaker 1: just look, there's your split voter. Point is spot on. 507 00:28:33,480 --> 00:28:36,080 Speaker 1: This is why Herschel Walker shouldn't be in a runoff. 508 00:28:36,080 --> 00:28:38,520 Speaker 1: He should be the next senator. Right. But there are 509 00:28:38,520 --> 00:28:41,160 Speaker 1: a lot of people who went with Kemp didn't go 510 00:28:41,200 --> 00:28:45,480 Speaker 1: with Herschel. The Kemp Trump feud of the last election 511 00:28:45,560 --> 00:28:48,720 Speaker 1: cycle and the runoff that happened there was not helpful. 512 00:28:48,880 --> 00:28:50,959 Speaker 1: It just wasn't helpful. I'm not placing blame on one 513 00:28:50,960 --> 00:28:53,200 Speaker 1: side or the other, but it wasn't where we needed 514 00:28:53,240 --> 00:28:57,360 Speaker 1: to be. And I do think that right now we're 515 00:28:57,400 --> 00:29:01,200 Speaker 1: going to see a Republican I should say a Republican 516 00:29:01,280 --> 00:29:05,000 Speaker 1: base that views this midterm election. This needs to be 517 00:29:05,000 --> 00:29:07,800 Speaker 1: a learning experience. This needs to be a learning experience, 518 00:29:07,840 --> 00:29:10,720 Speaker 1: because lessons learn from twenty to twenty eight. What were 519 00:29:10,760 --> 00:29:13,200 Speaker 1: they exactly? For a lot of people, it's well Trump won. 520 00:29:13,680 --> 00:29:16,480 Speaker 1: And to those people I've been saying for two years now, 521 00:29:17,080 --> 00:29:21,360 Speaker 1: I understand what you are saying. I'm not disagreeing with 522 00:29:21,440 --> 00:29:27,560 Speaker 1: your concerns, but looking backwards is a losing formula in politics. 523 00:29:28,440 --> 00:29:31,880 Speaker 1: We should have done better in this midterm election. There 524 00:29:32,080 --> 00:29:35,320 Speaker 1: was there were a number of candidates. Look, there are 525 00:29:35,360 --> 00:29:37,040 Speaker 1: a whole lot of things that come into play here, 526 00:29:37,040 --> 00:29:38,720 Speaker 1: and we try to analyze all of them as much 527 00:29:38,760 --> 00:29:41,000 Speaker 1: as we can. But there are a number of candidates 528 00:29:41,000 --> 00:29:43,680 Speaker 1: for whom twenty twenty was far too big a discussion 529 00:29:44,000 --> 00:29:48,080 Speaker 1: in twenty twenty two, and so I think now we're saying, 530 00:29:48,120 --> 00:29:51,240 Speaker 1: hold on a minute, what's happening in Arizona, what's happening 531 00:29:51,240 --> 00:29:56,360 Speaker 1: in Pennsylvania, Nevada, Georgia, these critical states, and what has 532 00:29:56,400 --> 00:29:59,960 Speaker 1: to go differently in a presidential election because the Democrat 533 00:30:00,040 --> 00:30:03,720 Speaker 1: let's keep marching on the agenda, the administrative state, the spending, 534 00:30:04,280 --> 00:30:07,680 Speaker 1: you know, the craziest look with Democrats have you know? 535 00:30:07,720 --> 00:30:08,960 Speaker 1: And I'm not sure I know people about to go 536 00:30:09,000 --> 00:30:10,720 Speaker 1: wait for the weekend. So I'm not trying to bum 537 00:30:10,720 --> 00:30:14,040 Speaker 1: anybody out here. The Democrat Party is the most insane 538 00:30:14,240 --> 00:30:17,800 Speaker 1: it has ever been right now, right now, the craziest 539 00:30:17,800 --> 00:30:19,880 Speaker 1: Democrat party. I mean when I say ever, you know 540 00:30:19,920 --> 00:30:24,440 Speaker 1: in modern memory, the Democrat Party is the most insane 541 00:30:24,480 --> 00:30:28,240 Speaker 1: it has been in my lifetime. And we just and 542 00:30:28,280 --> 00:30:30,240 Speaker 1: we have a weak economy, we have a weak president, 543 00:30:30,320 --> 00:30:33,040 Speaker 1: and we just had a very mediocre at best, maybe 544 00:30:33,080 --> 00:30:38,000 Speaker 1: subpar midterm election. Why we have to figure out why, 545 00:30:38,760 --> 00:30:41,080 Speaker 1: because the damage they'll be able to do. And I 546 00:30:41,440 --> 00:30:43,479 Speaker 1: think I think Biden is going to run again, you 547 00:30:43,520 --> 00:30:46,640 Speaker 1: know this, And I think that whatever shenanigans they do 548 00:30:46,680 --> 00:30:48,920 Speaker 1: with the votes, they're getting even better at it. So 549 00:30:49,560 --> 00:30:53,160 Speaker 1: you know, with turnout, with expanding mail and balloting, all 550 00:30:53,200 --> 00:30:56,200 Speaker 1: these things. I just want us to win, and that 551 00:30:56,240 --> 00:30:59,840 Speaker 1: means having a real conversation about what is necessary to 552 00:31:00,160 --> 00:31:03,800 Speaker 1: win and not allow our emotions, our sense of fealty 553 00:31:03,880 --> 00:31:06,440 Speaker 1: to one politician over another, or any of that to 554 00:31:06,600 --> 00:31:09,520 Speaker 1: get in the way. That's where That's where my headspace 555 00:31:09,640 --> 00:31:11,480 Speaker 1: is right now. And those of you who agree, you 556 00:31:11,480 --> 00:31:15,080 Speaker 1: can let me know Facebook dot com, slash buck sex 557 00:31:15,120 --> 00:31:16,400 Speaker 1: and if you want to send me message there or 558 00:31:16,400 --> 00:31:18,840 Speaker 1: if you want on Twitter. And those who disagree, that's 559 00:31:18,840 --> 00:31:21,080 Speaker 1: cool too, let me know what you think.

You know, I think it's so 587 00:32:43,120 --> 00:32:46,800 Speaker 1: important you have this moment after an election. For a 588 00:32:46,800 --> 00:32:49,960 Speaker 1: lot of us. There were some pretty big disappointments, amazing, 589 00:32:50,280 --> 00:32:56,600 Speaker 1: amazing Florida situation, Desantists, Rubio and Napoleon, a Luna, a 590 00:32:56,600 --> 00:32:59,160 Speaker 1: whole bunch of other folks. Great night for them. I mean, 591 00:32:59,240 --> 00:33:04,200 Speaker 1: Florida is Florida is the beating heart of the Republican 592 00:33:04,280 --> 00:33:08,360 Speaker 1: Party right now politically speaking. I mean, it's it's right 593 00:33:08,360 --> 00:33:11,160 Speaker 1: in the center of the action. But I know that 594 00:33:11,200 --> 00:33:12,760 Speaker 1: there are a lot of other places. Look, I was 595 00:33:12,960 --> 00:33:14,800 Speaker 1: I was bummed out. I will tell you I was 596 00:33:14,800 --> 00:33:16,480 Speaker 1: bummed out about Lee's eeldm. But I bring all this 597 00:33:16,600 --> 00:33:19,120 Speaker 1: up because you know, we talk to you about all 598 00:33:19,160 --> 00:33:21,520 Speaker 1: of this day in and day out here, and there's 599 00:33:21,520 --> 00:33:23,720 Speaker 1: some things that get us very fired up, some things 600 00:33:23,720 --> 00:33:27,239 Speaker 1: that have us worried, and you've always got to make 601 00:33:27,280 --> 00:33:30,000 Speaker 1: sure that you're taking that time to do things that 602 00:33:30,040 --> 00:33:32,719 Speaker 1: make you smile, spend time with the family. You know, 603 00:33:32,760 --> 00:33:36,520 Speaker 1: this weekend, wherever you are across across the nation, you know, 604 00:33:36,640 --> 00:33:38,880 Speaker 1: you just think about how we've all been through it 605 00:33:38,960 --> 00:33:42,720 Speaker 1: this week. So if you're your version of of kicking 606 00:33:42,760 --> 00:33:47,240 Speaker 1: back relaxing is, you know, going and taking the kids 607 00:33:47,280 --> 00:33:50,479 Speaker 1: to a baseball game, or you're sitting back and cooking 608 00:33:50,480 --> 00:33:53,280 Speaker 1: something delicious in the kitchen, having a few beers, glasses wine, 609 00:33:53,320 --> 00:33:56,760 Speaker 1: whatever it is, read a good book. That that's all 610 00:33:56,800 --> 00:33:58,719 Speaker 1: to the good. I think it's so important that we 611 00:33:58,880 --> 00:34:04,240 Speaker 1: establish balance, because with balance you cannot you can handle 612 00:34:05,320 --> 00:34:11,239 Speaker 1: these moments of concentrated energy, focus, and even stress that 613 00:34:11,320 --> 00:34:15,520 Speaker 1: come for all of us during an election. And we 614 00:34:15,600 --> 00:34:18,759 Speaker 1: know that while there can be some disappointments, we go 615 00:34:18,840 --> 00:34:22,080 Speaker 1: forward as as happy warriors. The good thing about what 616 00:34:22,120 --> 00:34:25,719 Speaker 1: we do here, and I think about viewing the world 617 00:34:25,800 --> 00:34:28,200 Speaker 1: the way that I do and the way that you do, 618 00:34:28,440 --> 00:34:31,960 Speaker 1: those of you who are listening now, is when you 619 00:34:32,040 --> 00:34:35,959 Speaker 1: know that, when you know you're how do I say 620 00:34:36,000 --> 00:34:39,120 Speaker 1: this without putting it too bluntly, when you know you're 621 00:34:39,120 --> 00:34:41,200 Speaker 1: the good guys, you don't care what the bad guys say? 622 00:34:41,239 --> 00:34:44,960 Speaker 1: How about that? It's pretty straightforward. It's true though. We 623 00:34:45,040 --> 00:34:47,520 Speaker 1: stand for what is right and decent and true, what 624 00:34:47,640 --> 00:34:52,400 Speaker 1: is constitutional, what is based in liberty, freedom, Those are concepts. 625 00:34:52,440 --> 00:34:55,640 Speaker 1: Those are guiding stars for us here day in and 626 00:34:55,719 --> 00:34:58,319 Speaker 1: day out, and so even when we don't necessarily win. 627 00:34:58,480 --> 00:35:00,399 Speaker 1: But of course there's going to be a challenge. Of course, 628 00:35:00,400 --> 00:35:04,160 Speaker 1: there's going to be times when we have setbacks. You know, 629 00:35:04,239 --> 00:35:07,399 Speaker 1: this is part of the struggle that we all face 630 00:35:07,480 --> 00:35:09,360 Speaker 1: here in this country. That the good news, though, is 631 00:35:09,360 --> 00:35:14,320 Speaker 1: that it's still possible to have so many amazing days 632 00:35:14,480 --> 00:35:18,240 Speaker 1: and have such a fantastic for example, just this weekend, 633 00:35:18,880 --> 00:35:20,960 Speaker 1: time with friends, family, or alone if you want to. 634 00:35:20,960 --> 00:35:22,879 Speaker 1: Sometimes just you know, kicking back reading a really good 635 00:35:22,880 --> 00:35:26,200 Speaker 1: book is the way to spend a weekend I have. 636 00:35:26,440 --> 00:35:28,399 Speaker 1: It's so funny. I always think to myself about how 637 00:35:28,920 --> 00:35:34,360 Speaker 1: I've never gone to sleep too early, read a book 638 00:35:34,760 --> 00:35:39,000 Speaker 1: for too long, or worked out too consistently, and thought, oh, 639 00:35:39,040 --> 00:35:41,720 Speaker 1: I shouldn't have done that. You know, there's those decisions 640 00:35:41,719 --> 00:35:44,680 Speaker 1: you make. You go, yeah, you know, read as much 641 00:35:44,680 --> 00:35:46,120 Speaker 1: of the book as you feel like reading. You know, 642 00:35:46,200 --> 00:35:48,160 Speaker 1: take as much of a nap as you can this weekend. 643 00:35:48,200 --> 00:35:50,160 Speaker 1: Spend as much time with the kids as you can 644 00:35:50,200 --> 00:35:54,680 Speaker 1: possibly gather together. Because I got I got something else 645 00:35:55,000 --> 00:35:57,800 Speaker 1: here for all you. The fight is going to continue, 646 00:35:58,160 --> 00:36:01,759 Speaker 1: and these these libs, democrats with these crazy ideas all 647 00:36:01,800 --> 00:36:05,640 Speaker 1: over the country, they are not going away. And it 648 00:36:05,800 --> 00:36:08,759 Speaker 1: is to their benefit, that we continue to push for 649 00:36:08,800 --> 00:36:14,640 Speaker 1: what is best for all of us. Conservatism, constitutionalism, freedom, 650 00:36:14,760 --> 00:36:17,759 Speaker 1: you name it. Honored as always do get a chance 651 00:36:17,800 --> 00:36:19,759 Speaker 1: to hang out with all of you across America. Thank 652 00:36:19,800 --> 00:36:22,640 Speaker 1: you for your time today.
